In order to further enrich the knowledge of the masses, promote the publicity and education of popular science in the mass society, and improve the awareness and influence of Pingyang Harmony Opera. A few days ago, Pingyang Xinmin He Troupe entered the Fengli Cultural Auditorium in Aojiang Town, Pingyang County, Wenzhou Social Science Popularization Base, and carried out social science popularization activities with the theme of “non-genetic charm and drama”.
At the event site, Mr. Xue Shengshu, a municipal inheritor, taught opera lovers the knowledge of simple notation, introduction to erhu, primary percussion, basic singing of harmony drama, basic skills of drama, etc., and gave detailed explanations and comments on the creation stories and characters’ actions of classic dramas through scenario drills and video playback, so that everyone could deeply feel the charm of Pingyang harmony drama.
Pingyang Harmony Opera is a unique opera in Pingyang. Its performing art style is rough and bold, delicate and subtle, and its beautiful music and rich vocal cavity can not only be bold and unrestrained, but also be euphemistic and low-pitched. It is deeply loved by the audience in Wenzhou. In 2009, Pingyang Harmony Opera entered the ranks of provincial intangible cultural heritage, and as one of more than 370 operas in China, it was included in China Opera Records.
Since 2012, Fengli Cultural Auditorium has regularly carried out training and exhibition activities of non-legacy dramas every year, and organically combined non-legacy inheritance with social science popularization to guide non-legacy traditional dramas to approach young people and enter mass life.
